Last Sunday in Lubbock, the 18-year-old Baylor freshman won the Big 12 title in the 100 with a time of 9.77 seconds.

Even though Bromell crossed in a time that would have smashed the collegiate record of 9.89, it will not count because it was wind-aided.

The wind was 4.2 meters per second, over the allowable 2.0 for record consideration.

Bromell, who finished ahead of Texas’ Senoj Jay-Givans (9.90), Oklahoma State’s John Teeters (9.91) and Baylor’s Everett Walker (9.98), said in a telephone interview Thursday that he initially was “shocked and humbled” to see his time.

After a few days to think about it, he said he still feels good.

“Even with the wind, it’s still a good accomplishment because there are some great track and field athletes who have ran close to that time, or faster, with the same amount of wind,” Bromell said.

Olympian Tyson Gay once ran a 9.68 with a 4.1 wind at the 2008 Olympic Trials.

“I mean, to be able to run something that’s close to what he ran, with the same amount of wind, it feels good. It feels good to be in that category,” Bromell said.

Florida State’s Ngonidzashe Makusha sped to a 9.89 for the collegiate record in 2011 at the NCAA outdoor championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

Makusha’s record appears to be in jeopardy considering Bromell’s age — he doesn’t turn 19 until July — and his recent performances.

Back on March 29, he won the 100 at the Texas Relays in 10.01 seconds, which set the school record and tied a world junior record.

According to the Track & Field Results Reporting System, Northwestern State’s Justin Walker leads NCAA Division I this season with a time of 9.95.

Diondre Batson of Alabama tied Bromell with a 10.01 on April 11.

Looking back, Bromell said he would have had a legal sub-10 second time in Austin if he had started as well as he did in Lubbock last weekend.

In Lubbock, he started fast and then kept flying down the track.

“I was very happy,” he said. “All the hard work I’ve put in and to run that time in that environment. It was just a very shocking and humbling moment. Like I say, not too many people have been able to run that time. It felt good.”
